Newlife’s ‘Just Can’t Wait!’ service

 

An innovative service that aims to give terminally ill children essential equipment within 72 hours has been launched by the UK’s leading children’s disability charity, Newlife Foundation.

Currently, one in three disabled UK children are living without a piece of essential equipment at any given time, and terminally ill children are particularly at risk of dying before they get what they need. These children may have to access hospice care early, due to lack of home-use equipment.

Newlife Foundation for Disabled Children has created the Just Can’t Wait! service to combat the delays that hamper children getting the equipment they need, when they need it most. The Just Can’t Wait! service is specifically designed for children in the end stage of their life, who need equipment such as specialist beds, wheelchairs and hoists.
